I was looking at the comments to my American Thinker article Fusion Energy and came across an interesting sequence of comments I had missed earlier. The first comment is by a sceptic. There are earlier comments by him in the comment section. Posted by: WR Jonas Jun 19, 01:18 PMI added the emphasis. And then there is a reply to the question by Rick Nebel: Posted by: rnebelIt seems Rick is confident of getting a yes/no answer on time and within budget for the question "Is it worthwhile to scale up the Polywell Fusion Concept to the size of a modest (~100 Megawatts) net power reactor? And what is Rick's time frame? The answer Rick gives is "We Will Know In Two Years." You can learn the basics of fusion energy by reading Principles of Fusion Energy: An Introduction to Fusion Energy for Students of Science and Engineering Polywell is a little more complicated. You can learn more about Polywell and its potential at: Bussard's IEC Fusion Technology (Polywell Fusion) Explained The American Thinker has a good article up with the basics. (same article referenced above) Why hasn't Polywell Fusion been fully funded by the Obama administration? Cross Posted at Power and Control posted by Simon on 08.23.09 at 05:47 AM
